These anti smoking adverts have always brought a little smile to my face, I would seriously love one of the groovy tees too. This selection dates from 1966 - 1968 and features the same group of slightly smug teens in almost all the ads (except my favourite - the boutique one of course!) all showing what a super fab time you can have if you don't smoke. Let us see....

Oh yes a nice party, looks like fun, they really seem to be enjoying themselves... (I am still very jealous of the t-shirt tho)

Of course, start a band, people in bands never smoke! Also I just don't get the tagline "More money to call the tune" - am I missing something?

This is a classic ad, all jokes aside, some very cool & covetable items in there. If cigarettes were that cheap, I'd still smoke!

Yes, More Money For Clothes, the only sensible option.

Now they have given up on the band, it's much easier to go and watch one instead. I wish the blonde would share the joke though.

Yes the imaginary boutique sounds fun! I would love to give up smoking purely because I know it's bad for me. I've smoked roll ups for five years which has made a big difference but I've never given up. How have you got on, have you managed to stay off them? xx

things I love... vintage fashion, films and music from the late 60's and early 70's, especially Biba, Terry De Havilland shoes, David Bowie, Stephen Stills, Scott Walker and swinging 60's cult classics. I also adore Wes Anderson films and I think a good cup of tea will cure anything!
